| Cousin Convergence '13. An annual event for many years, my two cousin/older brothers, Bert and Marshall, joined Francie and me somewhere on the west coast to spend a few days, play renaissance music on wood recorders, and eat Italian food, This year everybody converged on UCSB and stayed at the Faculty Club. |
| When I was a toddler and Marshall was living in my house in west LA, I couldn't say Marshall, so I said Marloo. The name stuck, and he was Marloo untill his passing last year ... and he's always Marloo to me. |
